Restructuring Patreon Rewards

Added 2021-03-02 02:34:32 +0000 UTC

It's come to my attention that, while I know most of you enjoy getting free sketches from me, it seems that I'm racking up quite the back-log from offering one free sketch a month from all my current patrons. So I'm considering changing things to make them interesting WHILE still offering rewards for people who wish to support me.

Now, a very IMPORTANT thing to note: Any tiers owed will be completed regardless of future changes - What this means is: If you are current Patron (-as of the first of March, 2021), all months I currently owe you will still be fulfilled. I do NOT want to leave anyone out who has paid for a tier, be it a $5 tier or $10. I know everyone here is very much hoping to get a sketch piece of their OC's (or what have you), and if there are any months still owed to you, they will be taken care of in the future.

SO! What am I thinking on doing? Well, I feel as if there may be a better -middle ground- for evening out the work flow to work load via a public raffle.

Now, the catch will be that the raffle slots will be perma-reserved for Patreon patrons. Patreon patrons of a certain tier (- What tier that is, I feel we can sort that out together -) will get a chance to use their OCs in that sketch slot.

Another idea that will allow me to bring back SketchNIGHTS is the "preferred Patron" status, where the top 2 - 3 slots of my usual SketchNIGHTS streams can be reserved by Patrons, as well as receive possible discounts on SketchNIGHTS art types, depending on Tier.

This is a lot to think on, and all that I've put into this long-ass post is a bare-bones outline that will still give people incentive to remain a Patron, but also alleviate stress on the artist/art work load. Of course, I am open to comments/suggestions. I don't want people to feel as if they're being cheated for the amount they graciously offer up monthly.

TL;DR - I am restructuring my Patreon to, instead of a monthly sketch, offer up a raffle with perma-slots/OC opportunities, as well as Patron-preferred slots on SketchNIGHTS + patron discounts. Feel free to discuss below.
